Philadelphia, April 10, 2006 — Morgan Lewis is pleased to announce that the 2006 edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Business Lawyers will feature 102 Morgan Lewis lawyers when it is published later this year. This continues our trend of significant increases in the number of Morgan Lewis lawyers who have been listed in previous years, starting with 27 lawyers in 2003—the first year Chambers listed U.S. lawyers—to 43 lawyers in 2004 and 76 lawyers in 2005.
The London-based Chambers is widely accepted as the standard for legal distinction around the world. The publication’s selection process is based on interviews with in-house law departments and with other attorneys around the country. The rankings are based on qualities such as technical legal ability, professional conduct, commitment, client service and commercial awareness.
Established in 1873, Morgan Lewis is no stranger to leading lawyer directories—our attorneys frequently appear in surveys listing top practitioners, in publications such as Best Lawyers, The American Lawyer and The National Law Journal, and in a Corporate Board Member survey of America’s best corporate lawyers. Morgan Lewis lawyers are also named Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Fellows of the American College of Employee Benefits Counsel, Fellows of the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers, and Fellows of the American College of Tax Counsel. Chambers has also ranked many of our European colleagues in their UK and Global editions.

Chambers’ interviewers identify the best practitioners in all the main areas of business law. Their results are compiled into tables that rank the leading law firms and individuals based on technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by clients. The rankings and editorial comments about attorneys are independent and objective. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the findings of the Chambers research team. No one can “buy their way in.”
